England to face Tonga in RLWC semifinal

The second semi-final of the Rugby League World Cup has been confirmed.

England overcame the PNG Kumuls 36-6 and will now play Tonga in the second semi-final at 6pm Saturday.

England scored seven tries in the match.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Fiji Bati will play the Australian Kangaroos in their third successive Rugby League World Cup semi-final this Friday after they beat the NZ Kiwis 4-2 in the quarterfinal.

NZ is the world’s second-ranked team in rugby league.

This was the first time for Fiji to meet NZ in a rugby league match and it was historic as Fiji which is a tier two nation beat NZ which is a tier one nation.

However, it will be an uphill battle against the Australian.

In the 2008 semi-final, Australia thrashed Fiji 52-0 while in the 2013 edition, Australia thrashed Fiji 64-0.

The Fiji Bati will play Australia at 10pm Friday.
